Isaac Okpe to Riazat Ali Shah. Full toss, outside off stump down the track driving, in the air under control to long off for 1 run, fielded by Jimoh. Uganda have posted a massive 196 runs on the board. After opting to bat first upon winning the toss, the top order gave a steady start, despite losing both openers inside the power play. The middle order stepped up admirably, stitching together crucial partnerships and keeping the scoreboard ticking at a healthy rate, with Riazat Ali Shah top scoring with an unbeaten 66. Nigeria's bowlers showed moments of promise, applying pressure at intervals, but were unable to sustain momentum for long periods. Sylvester Okpe was the standout with the ball, picking up two important wickets. Join us shortly for the run chase.
